Set up VCR Commander

Your X10 8 camera kit gives you two complete surveillance
syste ms. This kit is designed to allow you to use your TV and
the ScanPad remote to view 4 cameras, and use your PC to
view ano ther 4 cameras at home and over the Internet. Follow
these instructions to set up the cameras and receivers. See
the XRay Vision instructions and help file for more complete
information about setting up the software and hardware on
your PC.

Set Up Your Cameras
You have two 4-camera systems to set up. First

set up the two video receivers (model VR31A).

Set the frequency channel switch on the bottom
of one recei ver to 'A' and the other one to 'D.' Connect receiver
'A' to your VCR. The Video Receiver manual has diagrams
and descriptions for different ways to do so. Connect the
other receiver to the XRay Vision video capture adapter (see
XRay Vision instructions for details).

Next, set the House and Unit code dials on the addressable
power supplies (model XM10A) of the first four cameras to
the same le tter ('A' for example) and then numbers 1 through
4, re spectively. Plug each power supply into a free AC outlet.
Connect the camera to the power supply. The camera should
come on and you should be able to get the pi cture on the TV.
Adjust the antenna so that it points better at the antenna of
the receiver. When the camera is se t up, turn it off using your
ScanPad remote (model CR12A). Repeat these steps for
each camera you are setting up. Make sure to choose a
different Unit Code for each camera.

Set the dials on the power supplies of the next for cameras
to the same Ho use Code (letter dial) and set the number dials
to 5 th rough 8. Remove the rubber plug (it looks like a button)
on the base of each camera to open frequency channel switch.
The positions on the switch are not labeled, but the positions
match the 'A' to 'D' settings on the video receiver. Using a
paper clip or other small implement, move the switch on the
base of each camera to the top-most position, setting 'D'.
This sets the cameras to work with the receiver connected
to your PC.
